Our Cities, Ourselves challenges ten leading architects to envision ten cities in 2030 centered around safe and enjoyable walking, cycling, and public transit.
Our Cities in 2030: Sixty percent of the world's population will live in cities. This growth is equivalent to seven new megacities per year.
Our World in 2030: If current trends continue there will be 390 million cars in China.
Our Planet in 2030: If we don't act soon, carbon dioxide emissions from transportation will increase by 60%.
Our Safety in 2030: Without changes now road accidents will become the leading cause of death or injury among children in developing countries.
